I got a chance to work with (director) John Landis in a high-budget film, so hopefully it will be good exposure and a rewarding thing for me. One never knows." Look for Smith in the CBS summer-replacement series MUDDLING THROUGH as Zane, "a mechanic at a rural truck stop/diner." Smith still dates Cheryl Richardson (ex-Jenny Hornsby, GH). "We're fast friends and roommates; probably we'll progress quite rapidly."

Recently, Stevens has appeared in several interactive computer games, including PANDORA'S POKER PALACE and PHANTASMAGORIA. "It's good exposure for me.
